"Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress to more pain."- George Orwell

You should all be getting hyped for BtA

Between the Ashes, is an amazingly polished, fully voice acted, super campaign. The missions are incredibly varied, the enemy you fight is intelligent, there's a star system map that you can check at any point in the campaign, which gets updated as the campaign progresses. It's overall an amazing campaign that will comfortably take its place amongst the greatest mods for Freespace out there.

Re: Between the Ashes Development Blog

I started packing up the rest of the files this morning, except for Core (in case there are needed fixes to the missions tonight).

I'm glad many of your are looking forward to it! I hope you all find it enjoyable. I had to learn a lot of FREDing and FSO modding to pull this off (and had a crap-ton of help!).. so if it does suck, at least I learned a lot!

If you want to know, what my nickname means, -chen is a german diminutive term, so you can translate Novachen as something like Little Nova or Novalet.Even my original meaning of this name is more like "Sweet pretty deadly (Super)Nova" .

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. <MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".(the very next day)<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."<MageKing17> **** ME<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"(...)<MageKing17> so<MageKing17> more than two hours<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

<@The_E> Welcome to OpenGL, where standards compliance is optional, and error reporting inconsistent

<MageKing17> It was all working perfectly until I actually tried it on an actual mission.

<IronWorks> I am useful for FSO stuff again. This is a red-letter day!* z64555 erases "Thursday" and rewrites it in red ink

<MageKing17> TIL the entire homing code is held up by shoestrings and duct tape, basically.
